3D printed sliding parts
Achieving any shape using resin powder with the SLS method.
Igus's "3D Printing Service" is a service where Igus uses its own high-performance polymers to 3D print and deliver products based on customer data. You can choose between the SLS method using powder or the FDM method using filament. From your CAD data, we can quickly manufacture various types of sliding parts that are wear-resistant and do not require lubrication, without the need for molds or machining. ◆◆ Ordering is easy! 3 steps ◆◆ [Step 1]: Upload STEP data from the Igus site https://www.igus.co.jp/info/3d-print-3d-printing-service ▼▼▼ [Step 2]: Select printing material and quantity ▼▼▼ [Step 3]: Confirm the price and request a quote or place an order 【Advantages of Igus's 3D Printing】 - The created parts can be used in sliding components without lubrication - Extremely wear-resistant with high durability - Rapid manufacturing: short delivery times - No minimum order quantity: available from 1 to 10,000 pieces We sell from a single piece.

basic information
【igus 3D Printing Q&A: Frequently Asked Questions】 Q: What can igus's 3D printing service do? A: We offer high-performance polymer materials that excel in sliding properties and durability (filament/powder), as well as contract printing services using these materials. We accept data in STEP format and print in Germany. Q: What are the tolerances and maximum build sizes for printing? A: For FDM (filament) method, the tolerance is ±0.2mm (for lengths up to 50mm; for lengths over 50mm, it is ±0.4%). The maximum build size is 135×145×200mm. For SLS (powder) method, the tolerance is ±0.1mm (for lengths up to 50mm; for lengths over 50mm, it is ±0.2%). The maximum build size is 170×220×300mm. *The tolerances mentioned are standard tolerances. *This information is as of April 2021. Q: Which method do you recommend for contract services, FDM or SLS? A: Unless you are in a special environment with high temperatures or chemical resistance, we recommend the SLS method. Under the same conditions, SLS is more cost-effective and offers higher precision.
